Open Thread: Progress!

Back running under Fedora with kernal 3.11.6-201, and I have to say that game performance is highly noticeable. I tried playing TF2’s Helltower map and it kept choking on the particle systems. Now it’s smooth like a baby’s arse. Later today I think I’ll test one of the sawmill maps since it literally rains down particles. But yeah, now I can finish up my hunt for swag in the comfort of Linux, just how the GabeN intended.

I also installed an Open Source driver for my Logitech G510 which gives me full control of my G Keys plus some new keyboard apps. Sooooo nice to be able to color my keyboard under Linux instead of being stuck with vanilla keys. Think tomorrow I’ll put my binds back together so that I can raise proper hell.

And finally I decided to transfer over some old DOS games to play under DosBOX (which works great btw). Mounting is a bit different but thanks to the instructions included within the program I managed to figure it out. I mounted my /usr/local/games directory as drive C and went to town playing Cosmo’s Cosmic Adventure… now that’s old.
